In the fall of 2012, Melissa Merrill left a very good job as a mechanical engineer to accept a position of leadership. However, she did not leave for the money.
In fact, she left to become the volunteer leader of the Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure, the single biggest fundraising event for The Fuller Center for Housing, as well as a tremendous opportunity to raise awareness of The Fuller Center's nonprofit Christian housing ministry.
Now, after leading the 2013 Bicycle Adventure, Merrill has agreed to stay on for another year to lead the 2014 Bicycle Adventure, which will include a weeklong spring ride down The Natchez Trace Parkway and a summer ride from Atlantic City, N.J., to Astoria, Ore.
Next year's ride will be the 7th Bicycle Adventure, during which its cumulative fundraising total should top $1 million after having raised more than $825,000 in its first six years. Did playing a part in the million-dollar milestone have anything to do with Merrill's return?
Among those thrilled to have Merrill return is Ryan Iafigliola, who founded the Bicycle Adventure and led the first three Adventures. He is now The Fuller Center's Director of International Field Operations but occasionally dons the orange jersey of the Adventure to lend his support.
After the 400-mile March 14-23 spring ride down The Natchez Trace Parkway, the summer ride will take cyclists 3,600 miles June 5-August 10 through 15 states from Atlantic to Pacific. Along the way, they are planning to work on seven Fuller Center build projects.

Your support makes the Fuller Center Bicycle Adventure pay off for families in need!


I have a nagging suspicion, soon to be confirmed. I turn the tap—cold water. That's what I thought. That's what I feared.
There is no way around it. I'm sweaty, covered with sand and mosquito repellent.
The wind is chilly and I have goose bumps. Okay, what's the best way to make this as painless as possible?
I take off the towel wrapped around me. No one around. I hang it outside the shower and step in. I turn the tap all the way to the right but there is only a trickle of water. This is a Chinese torture: I want to get it over with as fast as I can but since there is almost no water pressure, I have to linger under the shower to rinse my hair, luckily short but unfortunately very thick. On the other side of the wall, Feng is going through the same process.
This morning, we were still in Cancún. Boringly beautiful Cancún, safe, predictable and convenient. We are now in Tulum. I'm typing this article lying on the bed, under a mosquito net on which we already killed two huge cockroaches. We are hoping it won't rain because even though I'm pretty sure the roof of the cabaña, made of palm tree, is waterproof, I don't want to test it. The mattress is set on a concrete raised edge and the floor is made of concrete too. There are two small chairs and a table. And a single light bulb—there is power between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. The communal bathrooms and showers are metres away, outside.
We are only about 50 metres from the ocean and a beach of white sand with tall coconuts. Tomorrow morning, the view will be gorgeous. For Now, it's pitch dark and cloudy so we can't even rely on the moonlight.
Tulum is a two-hour bus ride from Cancún. We somehow caught the 10:30 a.m. bus by buying tickets at 10:25. Of course, the two-hour ride turned into a 3.5 hours ride—más o menos as they say. Once in Tulum, we took a taxi to the zona archeologica and walked on the beach to find a hotel, or rather a cabaña, one of these little rustic houses right on the beach. The ones we stayed in ten years ago don't exist anymore, probably destroyed by a hurricane.
The first thing we did was to walk to the ruinas, the Mayan site built on a cliff overlooking the ocean. "Location, location, location"—the Mayans got that right. While the ruins are less impressive than in other sites, the view on the turquoise sea is incredible.
By the time it was sunset, we hadn't eaten anything since our quick breakfast in Cancún. We stopped by a small restaurant on the way out of the ruinas and had a quick dinner. The walk back to the beach and the cabaña was interesting: a 1.5 kilometre walk on an empty stretch of road cutting through the jungle in complete darkness. Freaky. We were almost expecting to see jaguar crossing in front of us, which would have been a shame because there was no way I could have captured the scene with my camera—too dark.
Mexican buses are really nice actually, although cold because of the air-con. I had to wear jeans!
😆 The cabanas are a real "back to nature" experience!
Oh, the beaches and the sea are wonderful. The ruins disappointing.
I agree! The location is cool but the ruins aren't that great.

On May 20, 2015, US Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch declared charges against fourteen FIFA officials, media managers and marketing executives, while federal and interpol agents swooped down upon organizational hubs from Miami to Zurich. Admist the scandal, Sepp Blatter has resigned as president of the organization, mere days after his re-election.
My fellow Americans, who were anticipating legal action against, oh, I don't know, police brutality, anti-gay discrimination, warrant-less data searches, etc., etc., were stunned.
After all, as right-wing über-citizen Sean Hannity put it on his June 1 radio show: "I don't like soccer. I just don't" (1). Hannity went on to mispronounce FIFA as 'fie-fa'. Just to show he don't know.
The rest of the English-speaking media, meanwhile, rushed à la clusterfoo to the airwaves, desperate to explain why Americans shouldn't switch the channel from C-SPAN to "CSI: Podunk" in terms we can understand – entertainment!
Nothin' special about me, m*&^$%#r.


Until recently I was an obstinate supporter of the no war no peace strategy towards Eritrea, because it was working. Now I am 100% on the other side of the fence, for the very simple reason and that is, it no longer works.
Eritrean leaders have done nothing to their nation for the previous two decades! Each penny they had invested on countless anti Ethiopian elements. Unfortunately we have Ethiopians who can do anything for their belly, during a broad day light!
Eritrea has effectively created and overseen media in Amharic & Oromo (ESAT, OMN TV) radio, websites, Twitter, Facebook pages and others to spread apprehension, hate and deception among Ethiopians. Eritrean leaders seem to understand more of the role of media than the EPRDF leaders!
Eritrea was not able to initiate unrest in Ethiopia so far, however, they have been hijacking several protests at different times. The Eritreans know, one day they will successfully dismantle Ethiopia without shooting a single bullet as long as Shabian leaders are alive and we Ethiopians are doing nothing as if nothing is happening.
As of now, doing nothing is the terrible thing for Ethiopia's future!! Take action against Eritrea. Disregard the "temetatgn Ermija" take full action. Well I am not expert on international laws. I don't think there is a genuine one either. If there is, it was crafted and intended to serve the powerful nations. We should not overlook the unlawful arms embargo we had in the 1998 war.
As I said earlier, I am clueless when it comes the international law but I have a common sense. If shabia can BREAK every international laws for the last two decades, why not Ethiopia bend them for days or weeks, to protect its citizen?


Little A was feeling really sad and lonely on Monday because his sister was in a school camp. Being the youngest one in the family makes him so attached to Big A. They are very close to each other although sometimes they are also like other kids ... They still fight (not physically though) and often argue about something and nothing. Hubby is still in his business trip to Argentina, so only me and Little A at home on Monday. He had an exception to sleep in my bedroom. Big A returned from the school camp yesterday evening. I know Little A couldn't wait to see his sister because he kept asking when she would come back.
Big A, on the contrary, was pretty excited about her school camp. She already made a check list for things that she should bring from many days ahead. I kept telling her so many things for her to remember that I wasn't sure she would remember all. Just me, as usual, being worried about her sleeping outside from home for the first time. The school camp was kind of ritual for Grade 6 students as they will have the Government exams in few more months. So this camp was about motivating and boosting their confidence. Hopefully, they all can give their best to do the exam. I hope Big A will really get the benefits and purposes of this camp.
Inside the box : rice, stir fry veggies, and braised soy chicken with baby potatoes.
Aw, so sweet that your kids are so close to each other and miss each other! Happy for you too, that your two kids are home with you now. Hope their daddy comes home and makes the family complete very soon!
I bet Big A will miss her little brother too..
@Bobo : Hope the kids can keep their closeness until they are big and old. Thanks Florence!
@prince n princess mum : Thank you dear!
Lil A is so sweet missing his big sister! It is nice that family is going to get together again soon ^_^!
Hope Big A succeeds well on her tasks! It seems she is very busy this year with school... she will sure manage with all the love and support from you all.
Lovely bento today, cute characters for your lil boy!
@OhayoBento : I hope the same too. I'm not really into the camp things but funny because I met my husband in church camp hahaha ... Thanks Heather!
@karaimame : Thanks a lot Lilian! Last year in elementary school, sure she has a lot of works to do. Pressure ... pressure, oh boy!
Awww... hope Lil A is feeling better without his sister.
Even my kecik one also miss her brother when he goes to school. She will ask for him when she wakes up from her nap.
Yummy and cute bento as always Lia!
@MakanMasak : Thanks a lot Henry for visiting my blog!

Q: How can I categorize a datetime series in a data frame with the Broadcast weeks calendar? I have a datetime column in a dataframe and would like to populate another column with the corresponding week number according to the Broadcast calendar. The Broadcast calendar separates days by weeks a little differently than the regular calendar and I have it in another dataframe which contains the following columns: from_date, to_date, range (type pd.date_range), week_number.
I have tried the numpy.where function with the isin() function but I get type errors. I also tried iterating through and applying a lambda to check if the date falls between each range in the broadcast calendar to no avail.
df['WEEK'] = np.where(df['DATE_TIME'].isin(broadcast_calendar['date_range']))

I am getting this error:

TypeError: class 'pandas.core.indexes.datetimes.DatetimeIndex' is not convertible to datetime

Example data frames:
broadcast_calendar = pd.DataFrame({
    'range': ['01/07-01/13', '01/14-01/20', '01/21-01/27', '01/28-02/03'],
    'week': [2, 3, 4, 5]
})

df = pd.DataFrame({'name': ['foo', 'bar'], 'date': ['01/16', '02/01']})

I would like the item 'foo' to have a column showing that it belongs to week 3 of the broadcast calendar, and bar should belong to week 5.
I also tried this:
df['week'] = df['date'].apply(lambda x: np.where(x > broadcast_calendar.from_date and x < pd.to_date))

But I get this error:

ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

Thank you!

President Obama, in his final State of the Union address, hit a series of familiar Democratic themes and defended his record, including his leadership on security issues. On those and other topics, he also repudiated the rhetoric from Republicans on the 2016 campaign trail. In the Republican response, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley accused Mr. Obama of falling "far short of his soaring words" while also cautioning her own party not to fall for its own populist rhetoric. The president's address comes amid continued economic anxiety and heightened concerns about security threats, stoked by recent Islamic State-inspired attacks, including a suicide bombing yesterday in Istanbul. And just hours before the speech, defense officials were scrambling upon learning that Iran had detained two small Navy boats and was holding 10 American crew members in the Persian Gulf—though they were released this morning.
History is in the making as the boom in U.S. oil drilling has changed the world's political and economic landscape. U.S. congressional leaders did the unthinkable, agreeing last month to lift the nation's 40-year-old ban on oil exports. The ink is barely dry on legislation and energy companies are already jockeying to ship American oil overseas. Two tankers filled with freely traded U.S. oil have pulled out of Texas ports in the past two weeks, with more shipments expected. Meanwhile, big oil companies deepened their reductions in staff and investment yesterday, as the price of oil briefly slipped below $30 a barrel for the first time since December 2003. Heard on the Street's Spencer Jakab looks at the challenges of quantifying the risks to big exporters such as Venezuela, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Toyota boss Akio Toyoda, once an autonomous-vehicle skeptic, has shifted the world's biggest auto maker out of go-slow mode in the technology. Behind the scenes over the past four years, Toyota executives declined a secret overture from Google and grappled with terminology, some viewing the word "autonomous" as taboo. We look at why Toyota is now rolling out one initiative after another. "I have hopes," Mr. Toyoda said in an interview at this week's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, "that what we are studying now could be used beyond the automotive business." Meanwhile, the shares of auto makers such as General Motors and Ford have fallen even faster than the battered broader market after last year's record car sales, as investors worry that it can't get any better than that.
How would you feel if your co-workers could see your paycheck? Our Work & Family columnist Sue Shellenbarger looks at how companies' open-pay policies bring inequities out in the open, prompting awkward conversations among employees and managers about who is making too little or too much. One big sum that will be hard to conceal is the check for $1.5 billion written to the lucky winner of the multistate Powerball lottery. In today's A-Hed, we look at how a little town in Spain has already hit it big. The citizens of Laujar de Andarax, a hamlet in Spain's Sierra Nevadas, have won more than $270 million in the country's annual Christmas lottery, El Gordo, helping to prop up the local economy.
President Obama's relationship with Congress started out strong when Democrats controlled both houses, but it soon took on a different tone as his party's fortunes waned. We chart the relationship through his State of the Union rhetoric.
The estimated amount that billionaire Michael Dell stands to make, after scooping up local TV stations across the country, from a government effort to buy back airwaves. In more than a dozen deals since 2011, a company controlled by Mr. Dell's investment fund has spent about $80 million on independent TV stations, according to government records.
Hillary's focus has been other things up to now…No one questions Bernie's authenticity on those issues.
With polls suggesting a tightening in the Democratic primary race between Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vice President Joe Biden suggested in an interview on Monday that Mrs. Clinton was a newcomer to the issue of income inequality, a top concern for many Democratic primary voters, though he later backed away from the comments.

Dining in New York City is a journey in itself.
Neighbourhoods nurture local specialties, delicious street food is no more than an arm's length away, and exclusive dining spaces sit side by side with quintessential 24-hour diners. In a city where tips and tax can add up to 28% to the bill it's important to hunt down good deals, as well as splashing out on the occasional indulgence that will make your holiday one to remember.
By the way, be under no illusions about tipping in the USA. It's not generally discretionary. A friend tells a story of being chased down the street when the tip left was less than expected!
Here are tried and true suggestions for great places to eat in New York City to suit every budget.
There are three traditional New York bites that have to be tried — pizza by the slice, fresh pretzels and bagels.
Walking and eating a slice of pizza at the same time comes naturally to New Yorkers. Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village has been serving up slices of pizza since the 70s. Think a thin, crispy base with tangy tomato sauce and stringy mozzarella, fresh from the oven. Eat it there or get a piece 'to go' (take away). 2 Bros Pizza has locations dotted across the city. With slices for a buck, you can't go wrong!
Pretzels are as New York as yellow cabs and Broadway, and you'll find them for sale on most street corners. However, fresh is best (warm and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside). The City Bakery on W 18th Street are renowned for their pretzel croissants. After one bite, you'll understand why.
Great places to eat in New York City: Grab a pretzel.
Black Seed Bagels offers hand rolled bagels, baked to perfection in a wood-fired oven. You have to go the bagel and lox (similar to smoked salmon) with cream cheese. There are stores in the East Village, Battery Park City and Nolita. While in the East Village hood, wander around the nearby Essex Street Market, where a cupcake from I.M. Pastry Studio is a true treat after a hearty soup from Peasant Stock.
Diners are a mainstay of American dining culture. They feature in movies and sitcoms, and come complete with colourful booths and bars propping up weary patrons gulping bottomless cups of coffee. Tick Tock Diner on the corner of 8th Ave and W 34th (next to the New Yorker Hotel) is perfect for an early breakfast if jet lag has you up at 3!
The Odeon on West Broadway has a varied menu and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner non-stop. With a buzzing bistro-style atmosphere, it's a great spot for an inexpensive bite in Tribeca (close to One World Trade Centre).
The Lower East Side has become super cool. Visit Katz's Deli, a New York institution since 1888. A pastrami on rye will set you back over $20 (the price you pay for the best sandwich in town!), with the meat piled high. The pastrami is cured for three weeks with a secret rub and smoked over woodchips, just as the family has done it for five generations. It doesn't get more New York City than this.
For dinner close by, book in at the Taverna Di Bacco. Chef and owner Maurizio Crescenzo beat the opposition in the TV series 'Chopped', and personally welcomes most guests. Think delicious home-cooked Italian food and cosy surroundings. Continue the evening at Mr Purple on the roof of the Indigo Hotel, with its stunning views of the Manhattan skyline.
If you want to be 'seen', head for Vandal — the ultimate in Lower East Side chic. This place takes culinary inspiration from street food the world over. DJs set the mood; the cocktails, food and crowd do the rest.
Cosme serves up fresh and innovative Mexican food. While great for lunch or dinner, try the weekend brunch and wash down delicious huevo rancheros with a Bloody Maria. It's a five-minute walk from the iconic Flatiron Building.
Americans do BBQ as well as the Aussies (or dare we say better!) and while Brooklyn may be the new Manhattan, Hometown Bar-B-Que down near Brooklyn Waterfront Artists is anything but. Using traditional pit smoking to cook the meats, this is a tasty twist on a time-honoured culinary tradition on both sides of the Pacific. It's walk-ins only (order a cold craft beer while you're waiting).
Also on this side of the bridge, Llama Inn is very, very cool. Let the Peruvian-inspired tucker take your taste buds on a delicious journey. Call in for breakfast, lunch or dinner (perhaps over a pisco sour or two — gotta love that!). The ceviche served with charred octopus is extra yummy.
Back in Manhattan, Estela on the border of Bowery and Nolita is where people gather over a bottle of great wine and tasty tapas. The Iberico ham, thinly sliced and slightly salty, almost melts in the mouth. The mussels escabeche on toast is deliciously different.
Gramercy Tavern has a bar area for drop-ins and a dining room where reservations are recommended. Book a long lunch and choose from the a la carte or seasonal tasting menu. Dinner is three courses for a set price or the seasonal tasting menu. Settle in surrounded by beautiful murals and stunning floral displays. There is no tipping here (service is included). It's worth ordering the vegetarian tasting menu just for the strawberry gazpacho.
Pack a jacket if you're thinking of visiting Daniel, a couple of blocks back from Central Park on the Upper East Side. The entrance looks like a chic Manhattan apartment, and the French cuisine and wine list are the celebrity residents. Enjoy the theatre as the The North Side gin cocktail is prepared at your table. The degustation menu served in the Skybox (a glassed private dining space suspended over the kitchen) is one of those 'wow' culinary moments.
Tokyo's omakase (meaning 'chef's choice') sushi restaurants are exclusive hangouts, where presentation, attention to detail and the quality of ingredients are second to none. New York manages to hold its own, with top Japanese chefs commanding some of the best dining spaces in the city. Sushi Nakazawa in the West Village will guide you through each expertly crafted piece.
Last but by no means least, Le Bernardin remains one of Downtown's finest dining experiences. The three Michelin stars are well deserved — earned through dedication and a passion for fabulous food that looks as stunning as it tastes. The list of awards and accolades is endless. Splash out!
Do you have any tips for great places to eat in New York City? We would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment below.

Jordan Babineaux brings the NFL to SAU
Southern Arkansas University Alumnus Jordan Babineaux returned to his university home on April 24 to visit with old friends and talk about his experience as a defensive back for the Seattle Seahawks.
The special event was sponsored by the SAU Foundation, with proceeds benefiting the foundation and the Kathleen Mallory Lectureship Endowment. A private reception with Babineaux was held in the Magnolia Room of the Donald W. Reynolds Campus and Community Center. The reception allowed special ticket holders to meet Babineaux and have their picture made with him before the dinner that followed in the Grand Hall of the Reynolds Center.
At the dinner, Babineaux told the crowd about the influence SAU had on his life, including the grueling football practices that helped shape him into a player ready for the challenges of the National Football League. But the road certainly wasn't always easy, according to Babineaux.
To further emphasize his point, Babineaux read the poem "Mother to Son," by Langston Hughes, which contains the famous line, "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair."

The term "renting" all too often brings up in people`s minds images of compact, constrained housing arrangements connected to other compact, constrained housing arrangements. Supposing you are relocating to 10024, houses for rent will also be a choice. Believe it or not, there are many noteworthy motives for renting a house instead of buying or going for a townhome or apartment, and utilizing the right tools, you`ll be able to easily find the ideal house for rent in 10024 that will match your chosen lifestyle and uniqueness.
A lot of individuals favor houses for rent in 10024 on account of the fact that they offer more space, compared to most townhomes or apartments.

Each lease agreement will be unique, however, so make sure to check over the documents you`re using carefully to examine exactly which duties belong to your landlord and which ones belong to you.
You`ll find that a majority of options among houses for rent in 10024 are found in outer regions of 10024, as opposed to downtown. Even so, it`s possible to find a great house in the downtown area, supposing you`re willing to put in a bit of extra time and effort. Houses for rent in 10024 are a great option for families or those with multiple roomies, and they could also lessen occupant`s payments while supplying an array of important features not seen in most other types of housing. Different from numerous other styles of housing, houses are independent from other units—they tend not to have community facilities much like apartment units do, and often include some form of a yard. Houses for rent in 10024 also still exist inside of easy travel distance to quite a number of the city`s places of employment, top destinations and entertainment districts.
Regardless of what your ideal home`s specifications are—RentFinder will help you get a hold of houses for rent in 10024 that live up to them.

And yes, this is specifically implying you ought to go out and see it live and in the flesh, not merely trusting pics or video footage seen on the net.
Once you do check out a place, take note of the small things that indicate wear and tear. The landlord is generally accountable for caring for it, so its existing state will tend to suggest how they will treat things when you are a resident. From the outside, is the front lawn and outdoor area in great shape? Is there any chipped paint or beat-up walls? Do virtually all of the lamps, lights and appliances start up? Do all of the doorways going outside the house lock safely? It`s advisable to take notice of the residences on the same street. Even if not under the exact same landlord, their present condition reflects on the area.
Still wavering on what type of house for rent in 10024 you want to find? Let RentFinder guide you right this moment. Merely hit the below button and launch your search!

Testing North Korea's Intentions
By Patrick M. Cronin
North Korean diplomatic offensives are usually short-lived and end in disappointment. Even so, it would be a mistake just to ignore Pyongyang's recent signals that it would like to end its status as an international pariah.
Recently, North Korea has highlighted sports diplomacy (sending athletes to compete in the Asian Games counts, but I'm not sure meeting with a professional wrestler counts as sports). More seriously, Pyongyang has many Japanese people expecting genuine answers to what happened to a number of citizens abducted in the 1970's and 1980's. One hopes that North Korea is forthcoming with information and not simply pedaling old information for sanctions relief.
Yet, perhaps the most intriguing facet of its multi-pronged diplomatic effort to break out of its current isolation is the deployment of high-level envoys to Europe and the United States. Mind you, when Kim Jong Un has executed his uncle, it strains credulity that he would entrust real negotiation to senior diplomats.
The four-country European tour this month by Kang Sok Ju, the international secretary of the North Korean Workers' Party, was launched with some fanfare, including a call for the implementation of past agreements involving the two Koreas. Forgive the cynicism, but no one outside Pyongyang has prevented the North from following through on its commitments, including its 2005 denuclearization pledge. The North has not just failed to denuclearize; it has accelerated nuclear proliferation through expanded nuclear and missile programs and tests.
Kang was present at the creation of the U.S.-North Korean Agreed Framework nuclear deal in 1994. He was also at the center of a crucial meeting with his American counterpart in October 2002 when Kang admitted that Pyongyang was developing nuclear weapons from enriched uranium. The first agreement headed off conflict 18 months after the North created a crisis by threatening to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The second meeting arrested the diplomatic process.
So it would seem that Kang's European tour is predicated on the idea that North Korea agrees with denuclearization in theory but not in practice. As the Prussian statesman Otto von Bismarck once remarked, "When a man says that he approves something in principle, it means he hasn't the slightest intention of putting it into practice."
The other top-level diplomacy is the announcement that North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Su Yong will attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York during the last week of this month. If all goes to plan, it would mark the first time in 15 years that North Korea has participated at the level of the Foreign Minister.
The North and South Korean missions to the United Nations are illustrative of the problem in a microcosm. Whereas the South Korean Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Oh Joon, works tirelessly on a myriad of issues before the global body, the North Korean mission is infamous for blocking and lobbying actions on anything that would directly affect North Korea's position. Seoul punches above its weight as a middle power shaping a complex international system, while Pyongyang just punches at everyone who gets near it.
So the idea that North Korea can self-declare an end to its diplomatic isolation perpetuates the myth that the world should pay attention to the North's words, not its deeds. Notwithstanding this harsh judgment, Foreign Minister Ri is most welcome in New York. Furthermore, South Korea, the United States and other responsible nations should sincerely hope that this visit to the Big Apple marks a positive turning point on the Korean Peninsula. But for that to be true, Minister Ri will have to back up words with actions.
North Korea needs to take steps, however modest at first, in the direction of peace.
Indeed, seldom has there been a better time for North Korea to surprise the world in a good way. After all, the world is beset with so many urgent crises—from Ukraine to ISIS to Ebola— that North Korea would be extremely wise to reverse its isolation through positive action. The investigation on Japanese abductees is a huge opportunity for North Korea and would give up nothing but very old information. Releasing the three Americans who are being held prisoner would represent a smaller but still important token of North Korean sincerity. Accepting some of President Park Geun-hye's invitations for improving inter-Korean relations would be yet a third area for demonstrating a newfound commitment to peace.
Despite the overwhelmingly likelihood of failure, President Park and other world leaders have an opportunity and a requirement to periodically probe North Korean intentions. While few analysts believe North Korea would negotiate away its nuclear weapons, the notion that the leadership in Pyongyang could suddenly embark on a different and more peaceful path to the future cannot be precluded. After all, unlike democratic leaders, an authoritarian leader, such as Kim Jong-un would have a far easier time doing an about-face with respect to security policy.
Great statesmen (and stateswomen) seek to prevent conflict through a combination of negotiation backed by resolve and strength. President Park's Trustpolitik has sought to balance international security and human security. But it takes two to tango, and it takes six to negotiate a framework for managing down North Korea's nuclear and missile threats. South Korea has remained open for business, and five of the six parties have, too. It's time for North Korea to join the international community. But the price of admission is following through on commitments.

Raj Balakrishnan, head of India Investment Banking, Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
How has the year been for you in terms of deal flow?
This year has been a good one for us. We were part of some of the largest M&A and fund-raising transactions in India. We recently announced Unilever's acquisition of GSK's health food drinks business—the largest deal in India's consumer sector, in which we advised Unilever. We also advised Schneider Electric on the acquisition of L&T's electrical and automation business and worked for Actis Llp on its sale of Ostro Energy to ReNew Power—both deals being the largest transactions in the respective sectors in India. We also closed the Vodafone-Idea merger, in which we were one of the advisors to Vodafone. We also helped Generali increase its stake in Future Generali India Insurance Co.
What will be your key focus area in 2019 and how do you read the impact of Lok Sabha elections on India-bound investments?
Our strategy is to continue working with our key clients on marquee transactions, both in India and globally. We call this a "responsible growth" strategy. We don't aspire to be a part of every deal on the street. This helps us stay focused on key clients and have a large share of the big ticket transactions with them. We remain cautiously optimistic on both M&A and capital raising. Of course, a lot will depend on the political environment. Depending on the outcome of the state elections, there might a window available in the first quarter next year for fund-raising. And assuming there is a stable government at the Centre after the general elections, I see business activity in India taking off.
A number of assets are on the block as many corporate groups are looking to exit non-core businesses. How are strategic buyers and buyout funds looking at this?
I would term this as a healthy churn in portfolios. Big corporates have multiple business lines within their business and they constantly re-evaluate each of these lines. This churn of portfolios will continue as a broader theme. Corporates will enter new businesses and exit a few that are not core to their strategy. For instance, strategic investors such as Unilever and Schneider look at India selectively, and for quality assets. For such assets, there is no paucity of either buyers or funds.
Buyout funds will continue to be very active as they have a lot of capital to deploy. The deal sizes that they consider globally and in India have gone up enormously. That is why I wouldn't be surprised if some big buyouts get done in 2019.
And what is the outlook for 2019? Do you think that markets will still be open for exits?
The first half of the year was extremely good for the capital markets, but since then, the market has slowed down, especially in the second half, and particularly more on the debt side, because of the rates and currency volatility. But by and large, I feel that investors will continue to view the Indian market positively.
Barring some kind of major political uncertainty in India or some negative global event, I think we should continue to see constructive markets.

Q: How to populate Grid with ajax where data coming from REST API JSON format?
I am having an issue, i got JSON format data from backend in this

I have tried few approaches. There are still some issues arising.

if(data.response == 200){
    for (var i = 0; i < data.response.length; i++) {
    for (var key in data.response[i]) {

            console.log(data.response[i][key][j])
        }
    }
  }
}

A: I think what you have missed is you need to get the first element of data.response[i].
Try this here, is this what you after?
    var result = {}
    $.each(data.response, function(key) {
      result[key] = {}
      $.each(data.response[key][0], function(e) {

Alfieri, Pietro
Dennis Libby
revised by Emanuele Senici
(b Rome, June 29, 1801; d Rome, June 12, 1863). Italian musicologist and composer. Ordained a Roman priest in 1823, his life was entirely directed towards the deliverance of liturgical music from what he saw as the debased theatrical style of contemporary composers and the neglect and incompetence of singers and organists in regard to Gregorian chant and Renaissance music. He contributed most importantly to this goal through his editions, particularly the Raccolta di musica sacra (Rome, 1841–6), the seven volumes of which provided the first large modern collection of Palestrina's music. Palestrina was Alfieri's ideal for new church music, which, according to his Ristabilimento, should be grave, succinct and suited in expression to the words, which were to be presented clearly and with few repetitions. His own compositions, many of them published at Rome, exemplified these principles.
Alfieri was also a pioneer in Italy in the historical study of Gregorian chant, which he sought to restore to its original purity, although along lines that now appear somewhat arbitrary and subjective. His early ...
Alfiero [Alfieri], Giuseppe
Thomas Walker
revised by Jennifer Williams Brown
(b Naples, 1630; d Naples, Jan 21, 1665). Italian composer. He studied at the Conservatorio dei Poveri di Gesù Cristo from 1642 to 1649 and about 1658 was named maestro di cappella of the city of Naples. In 1655 he composed for the Teatro S Bartolomeo La fedeltà trionfante (G.C. Sorrentino), one of the first operas originally written for Naples. Prota-Giurleo (DBI) ascribed to him two other dramatic works: Le magie amorose (1653, Naples) and Il trionfo della pace (G. Gastaldo; 1658, Naples). The libretto of Le magie is a revision of Marco Faustini's Rosinda; if Alfiero was involved, he may simply have revised Cavalli's music. Bianconi proposes O. Gaudioso and A. De Santis as the composers of Il trionfo. Alfiero's only surviving work is a hymn ( I-Nf ).

His activity as patron is usually divided into two periods, before and after he had settled in Naples (1433). He was an outstanding patron of minstrels, among them the shawm player Jehan Boisard and the lutenist Rodrigo de la Guitarra. The choir of his royal chapel was, according to his contemporaries, one of the finest of its day. In the two earliest records of its members, dating from 1413 and 1417, there are 13 singers, among them Gacian Reyneau and Leonart Tallender, and two organists. His singers were recruited from Spain, France and Germany: in October 1419 he sent one of them, Huguet lo Franch, to his native land in search of singers, providing him with a letter offering all kinds of privileges.

Alford, Kenneth J.
Geoffrey Self
[Ricketts, Frederic Joseph]
(b London, Feb 21, 1881; d Reigate, May 15, 1945). English composer and bandmaster. As a cornet-player with the Royal Irish Regiment, he served in India. Subsequently he studied at Kneller Hall (1904–8), qualifying as a bandmaster, and in 1908 was appointed to the 2nd Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. In 1912, under the pseudonym Alford (his mother's name), he published the marches The Vedette and Holyrood, the first of a long series of marches. Two of the most famous, written during World War I, illustrate differing approaches to march-style. Colonel Bogey (1913) is in simple time; the golfing allusion of the title reflects the work's origin on the green, where Alford's partner would whistle the notes C and A instead of shouting 'fore'. On the Quarter Deck (1917) is in the compound time made popular by the American John Philip Sousa. Alford is unlikely to have missed Sousa's concert on ...
Alfred Music Publishing
Jonas Westover
Publishing company. Alfred is a family-owned publisher, started in 1922 and headquartered in Van Nuys, California. They are particularly known for their educational music, but since their acquisition of Warner Publishing in 2005, they now own copyrights estimated to be over one million songs. Created by Alfred Piantadosi, the composer and bandleader, to distribute his own songs, it did not take the publisher long to develop a catalog, which included hits such as "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" and "Ragtime Cowboy Joe." The New York-based company was sold in 1928 to Sam Manus, and he and his family significantly expanded the group's holdings with a focus in educational materials. Soon after, they developed method books for violin, accordion, guitar, and piano. Alfred's Basic Piano Library has been adopted worldwide as a fundamental piano text; other "Library" editions are likewise considered important contributions to music pedagogy. Their work for school ensembles is also substantial, with ...
Alfvén, Hugo
Rolf Haglund
(Emil)
(b Stockholm, May 1, 1872; d Falun, May 8, 1960). Swedish composer, conductor and violinist. He attended the Stockholm Conservatory (1887–91) and then took private lessons with Lindegren (composition) and Zetterquist (violin); from 1887 he also studied painting. A violinist in the Hovkapellet (the opera orchestra, 1890–92), he decided in 1892 to make his career in music. From 1904 to 1957 he conducted the Siljan Choir – a group of five church choirs and regional choirs in Dalarna – and he was the director of other choruses, including the Orphei Drängar (1910–47), with whom he made 22 tours throughout most of Europe. In addition he was Director Musices of Uppsala University (1910–39). A Hugo Alfvén Foundation has been established in Stockholm.
Alfvén's music is distinguished by orchestral subtlety and by a painterly exploitation of harmony and timbre. His output was almost entirely of programme music, often suggested by the Swedish archipelago; he commented that 'my best ideas have come during my sea-voyages at night, and, in particular, the wild autumns have been my most wonderful times for composition'. A few pieces, often performed, have maintained his reputation: ...
Algarotti, Francesco
Daniel Heartz
(b Venice, Dec 11, 1712; d Pisa, May 3, 1764). Italian writer on opera, poet and savant. He was well educated at Rome and Bologna, whence he was welcomed into the learned circles of London and Paris, where he shared accommodation with Voltaire. In 1740 Frederick the Great took him into his personal service and gave him the title of count. From 1742 to 1747 he was also adviser to Augustus III, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. At both Berlin and Dresden he was actively engaged in operatic productions, arranging and versifying Italian librettos to the taste of his patrons. He returned to Italy in 1753 because of ill-health. His Saggio sopra l'opera in musica was written the following year and first published in 1755. It attacks the unruliness prevalent in Italian public theatres, which compared unfavourably with the well-regulated and varied spectacles beginning to emerge at the court theatres of northern Europe. Other contemporary essayists such as Blainville, John Brown, Calzabigi, Krause, Ortes and Durazzo said much the same thing in condemning the dominance of the singers over every other aspect of serious opera in Italy....
Alghisi [Algisi], Paris Francesco
Sven Hansell
(b Brescia, June 19, 1666; d Brescia, 29 or March 30, 1733). Italian composer and organist. He began musical studies at an early age with Orazio Polaroli (organist of Brescia Cathedral) and spent a short time (c1681–3) serving at the court of the Polish king when Polaroli was its maestro di cappella. After his return to Brescia, Alghisi entered the order of S Filippo Neri without, however, ceasing to compose secular music. From at least 1690 he was maestro di cappella of S Maria della Pace, their church, and in that year he applied, without success, for the position of organist of Brescia Cathedral. A libretto of 1692 refers to him as maestro di cappella of the Brescian Collegio dei Nobili and the title-page to his Sonate da camera describes him as a member of the Accademia Filarmonica of Bologna. In the libretto for his oratorio ...
Alió y Brea, Francisco
Jocelyne Aubé
(b Barcelona, March 27, 1862; d Barcelona, March 31, 1908). Spanish composer, folklorist and music critic. He studied composition with Antonio Nicolau and Anselmo Barba and piano with C.G. Vidiella in Barcelona and was music critic for various journals there, including La renaixensa, L'avenç and, from 1905 to 1908, El poble català. He published his Collecció de 6 melodies per a cant i piano and five Cansons per cant i piano (both Barcelona, 1887), which are settings of poems by Angel Guimerá, Francisco Matheu y Fornells, Apeles Mestres and Jacinto Verdaguer. He illustrated the latter volume himself, and some of his work was displayed at an exhibition of the Sociedad de Acuarelistas in Barcelona. A distinguished folklorist as well as a sensitive composer and skilful melodist, he collected Catalan folksongs and published arrangements of 23 of these in Cansons populars catalanas (Barcelona, 1891). He used native rhythms and melodies in his songs and piano pieces (among them ...
Aliprandi, Bernardo
James L. Jackman
(b ?Milan, c1710; d Frankfurt, c1792). Italian cellist and composer. Although early sources (Eitner, Rudhart) claimed a Milanese origin for Aliprandi, the family has not been definitely traced. One of the numerous Italians who found careers north of the Alps, Aliprandi first appears in the records of the Bavarian court at Munich on 1 October 1731 as a chamber and court musician, with a yearly stipend of 1000 florins. On 22 August 1737 he succeeded G.B. Ferrandini as composer of chamber music; on 11 March 1744 he was promoted to Konzertmeister, with his salary increased to 1200 florins. By 1777 this amount had been reduced to 1105 florins, and in 1778 he retired with a pension of 500 florins. In 1791 he was living in Frankfurt; a petition by his son Bernardo Maria dated May 1793 indicates that he had died by then.
Aliprandi's works for the Bavarian court opera include ...

Alís (Flores), Román
Marta Cureses
(b Palma de Mallorca, Aug 24, 1931; d Madrid, October 29, 2006). Spanish composer. He began his musical studies at the Barcelona Conservatory with Gabriel Gálvez, Luis Millet, Juan Pich Santasusana, Joan Gibert Camins, Joaquín Zamocois and Eduardo Toldrá, and later removed to Geneva to broaden his training. His tireless professional work extended beyond composition to directing various musical and ballet groups, orchestration, performing as a pianist, music criticism on radio and television, and teaching. He taught composition and fugue at the Seville Conservatory until 1971, then composition at the Madrid Conservatory until his retirement in 1997.
Alís's works number about 200 and comprise a wide variety of genres. Many of them were commissioned by various official organizations. Among them are the orchestral Sinfonietta, Música para un festival en Sevilla, Homenatge a Antoni Gaudí, Seis remembranzas a Eduardo Toldrá and Rêverie, all of which bear witness to his mastery of orchestration, tone-colour and intensity. Equally well known are his pieces for piano, his choral pieces and his string quartets. In addition to his serious music, he composed, orchestrated and conducted commercial and incidental music for publishing houses, CDs, theatre, radio, television and the cinema. A member of various juries of international competitions, he was made Commander of the Imperial Hispanic Order of Carlos V and received numerous honours and prizes....
Aliseda, Jerónimo de
Robert Stevenson
(b c1548; d Granada, June 28, 1591). Spanish composer, son of Santos de Aliseda. From about 1557 to September 1577 when he was ordained, he was a member of the choir of Granada Cathedral. On 8 June, 1580 the chapter accepted him as successor to his father without the customary public competition. As maestro de capilla he was required to give board and instruction to the choirboys, to provide daily lessons in polyphony and to compose chanzonetas and extremeses for important feasts. In 1589 he was relieved of these obligations because of ill-health. He died in poverty, like his father. None of Aliseda's secular music survives. His solemnly expressive motets owe much to those of Morales in structure and style, particularly to the latter's Emendemus in melius.

Aliseda, Santos de
(d Granada, July 4, 1580). Spanish composer. He was appointed maestro de capilla of Granada Cathedral on 19 November 1557 despite the opposition of his predecessor, Luis de Cózar, who intended his own nephew to succeed him. After an unsuccessful appeal to the archbishop, Cózar was forced to hand over the charge of the choirboys to Aliseda in May 1558. Aliseda had already begun to search for better singers, but was hindered by the poor salaries which the Granada Cathedral chapter offered.
Throughout his 23 years as maestro de capilla Aliseda won praise from the chapter for his diligent teaching, his punctuality and particularly for his care of the choirboys. In 1579, in appreciation of his merits, the chapter recommended him to Philip II for a prebend, and on 14 May 1580 voted him a gift of 12 ducats to aid him in his illness.

Alkan [Morhange], (Charles-)Valentin
Hugh Macdonald
(b Paris, Nov 30, 1813; d Paris, March 29, 1888). French pianist and composer. His real name was Morhange. He was one of the leading piano virtuosos of the 19th century and one of its most unusual composers, remarkable in both technique and imagination, yet largely ignored by his own and succeeding generations.
Of Jewish parentage, Alkan was the eldest of five brothers, all of whom, with an elder sister as well, became musicians under the assumed name Alkan; Napoléon Alkan, the third brother (1826–1910), taught solfège at the Paris Conservatoire for over 50 years. Valentin Alkan's career at the Conservatoire started brilliantly with a premier prix for solfège at the age of seven. When Alkan was nine Cherubini observed that he was 'astonishing for his age' and described his ability on the piano as 'extraordinary'. He won a premier prix for piano in 1824, for harmony in ...

Allacci [Allacius, Allatius, Allatios], Leone
[Lione, Leo, Leon]
(b Chios, 1588; d Rome, Jan 19, 1669). Italian theologian and scholar of Greek origin. He went to Italy as a child and studied philosophy, theology, and classics in Rome at the Greek Catholic Collegio di S Atanasio from 1599 to 1610. After a period in Chios he studied medicine in Rome until 1616. Thereafter he was employed in the Vatican Library and was responsible for moving the Biblioteca Palatina from Heidelberg to Rome in 1622–3. In 1661 he succeeded Luca Holstenio as chief curator of the Vatican Library. He wrote extensively on a wide range of subjects including theology, Byzantine studies, classical antiquity, and Italian letters. He was a member of the Accademia degli Incogniti, which played an important role in early Venetian opera. He is significant for the history of music by virtue of his Drammaturgia … divisa in sette indici (Rome, 1666), a compendious and surprisingly accurate list of dramatic works of all kinds, including opera librettos, published in Italy; it also lists many unpublished works. A second, vastly enlarged and updated edition by Giovanni Cendoni, Apostolo Zeno, Giovanni degli Apostoli, and others unnamed (Venice, ...


In order to understand the entire psyche of the Scoliosis Patient, an examination of the culture surrounding this disfiguring condition as it has developed through time is in order.
Historically, societal intolerance for people with the curved spines of Scoliosis has created a psychological outlook inexplicitly bound up primarily with the condition's deforming aspects--while neglecting the serious internal health problems crooked spines produce that can even be fatal.
Literature and film abound with examples of the reviling nature of the upper back "hump" and the distorted bodies and walking gaits that curved spines produce. Everyone is familiar with some version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" with its titled Scoliosis victim pilloried and otherwise vilified as describably the ugliest creature that ever lived. Even more realistic films such as the critically-acclaimed "Europa, Europa" has a striking scene with a crooked lonely woman galumphing hideously after the only person to befriend her--a young Jewish outcast in World War II Poland--when he is rounded up. Then there is the small hero in "The Secret Garden," who fearfully took to bed as a cripple just in dread of the thought that he might develop a scoliosis hump like his father's.
While modern society has made great strides in separating frightful-looking medical conditions like Scoliosis from evil spirits, religious condemnation, and the like, it will never entirely be able to discard its prejudices in the face of seeing crooked bodies that cannot move normally. The unfortunate fact is that until Scoliosis can be effectively prevented and/or treated in a relatively unobtrusive and more successful way, judgmental behaviors will remain. This is particularly true because the great majority of cases of curved spines are attributed to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, making the cause of 80-85% of the cases unknown. With nearly 10% of the teenage population found to have at least small degrees of Scoliosis, and most high schools of any size having at least one if not more students with severe curvatures needing extensive surgery, the threat of Scoliosis becomes real and unpredictable to others.
Some people in the general population can only handle such fear for themselves and/or their children with avoidance of the victims of Scoliosis, granting them only pariah status. It is difficult enough for Scoliosis victims to have to fight societal ignorance throughout all stages of life, but worse is the fact that they are usually discovered to have shockingly distorted bodies right on the cusp of adolescence, a stage of life already fraught with identity crises and insecurities. Particularly because of the fragility of time in their lives when most Scoliosis patients are first diagnosed, they can develop unhelpful, defensive coping strategies that become a part of their permanent behaviors. These aberrant behaviors have been defined by the author as Scoliosis Overcompensation Syndrome.
These treatments often resulted in adolescents feeling abandoned and powerless for months at a time in painful situations in locations isolated from family and friends. Youngsters had to learn to be submissive, compliant, and suppress their emotions in order to avoid experiencing what we might today regard as abuse in these settings, with punishments such as denial of pain injections or even basic hygienal aid if they cried. SOS is also accompanied by patients' rejections of the memories of the physical deformities that accompanied their spinal curvatures, and a mistaken belief that the spinal fusions they had that provided cosmetic correction "cured" their conditons. Decades ago, this attitude was reinforced by Scoliosis doctors, who often told their post-surgery spinal fusion patients that, upon recovery, they would have absolutely no limits on their activities.
Many SOS patients recall that they developed great strengths of character during the trying times of their Scoliosis treatments at ages 14, 15, or 16 that paved the way for them to become highly motivated, successful adults. They often express that they learned "what was important in life," which was not popularity, material possessions, looks, or the like. Thus, they often came out of their travails seeming more mature and focussed than others their ages, traits that were thought to be societal pluses. However, they found that they no longer fit in with their peers. Unfortunately, it also meant that some Scoliosis patients never went through the normal growing experiences of adolescence that produce more well-rounded adult individuals.
With a lack of psychological counselling, these adolescents who had spinal fusions to correct their curvatures were able to go into complete denial about their "former" deformities. Even though the surgical correction could not (and still cannot) produce perfectly straight spines, it greatly lessened the imbalances in shoulders, waists, and hips. Thus, many were able to dress so that they could "pretend" that they never had Scoliosis, and some went to great lengths to hide their remaining crookedness from others. Scoliosis doctors, again, fostered this approach by complimenting their patients on their cosmetic improvements and encouraging them to feel they were "all better" and need never think about limiting themselves in terms of their activities and future plans. Some young women even had reconstructive breast surgery to reshape growing adolescent breasts that had been crushed by months in bulky plaster body casts.
Counselling by psychologists or social workers familiar with medical problems, disabilities, and pain control can help Scoliosis Patients with SOS learn to express their feelings better and develop more productive ways in dealing with their families, employers, and medical professionals. They can also aid in stress and pain management, teaching patients behavioral modifications that can allow them to pace their activities and workloads. Patients can also be instructed in how to listen to their bodies when they need to conserve strength and energy to prevent or alleviate long-term physical complications of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Spinal surgeons (or the hospitals in which they have privileges) often can recommend such medical professionals to work with their patients in ameliorating the effects of Scoliosis Overcompensation Syndrome. These professionals can also help SOS patients prepare for any medical procedures that may become necessary in the future with a more positive attitude to ensure better success.
The information in this article is based on anecdotal reports of Adult Scoliosis Patients, particularly those currently in their 40s and 50s, who experienced spinal fusions for Scoliosis when they were adolescents. Although, based on their accounts, it is clear that Scoliosis Overcompensation Syndrome (as defined by the author) exists in some form and in many patients, there is little known about its incidence and severity in the Adult Scoliosis community. There is a great need for more extensive study and scientific documentation of SOS in order to be able to go forward and provide better help for these patients.

Live music returns, conditionally, to the Hideaway Café
At the Hideaway Café, "business as usual" is live music, with a kitchen and a bar. Pretty much in that order (well, with some people the bar will always come first, and that's just the way it is).
Of course, there hasn't been any "as usual," for any public business, for a couple of months. But Hideaway owner John Kelly is making inroads towards giving his customers what they've come to appreciate about the Central Avenue stalwart.
Since the governor's order came down giving restaurants permission to re-open at half-capacity, with proper distancing, Kelly has been serving again.
Next, inevitably, came the return of live music. The Hideaway has one of the best sound systems in St. Petersburg, and musicians love to perform on its intimate, cozy stage with the red velvet backdrop.
Pulley and Pastore
Saturday, Hideaway favorites Rebekah Pulley and Rob Pastore will play the Hideaway, for an audience that won't – because it can't – top a capacity of 36. It's the fourth edition of the #HideawayAtHome Limited Live + series.
"I was able to entertain the idea of opening when we did because we have a food license and operate like a restaurant, in that regard," Kelly explains. "And, yes, I had to contact the mayor's office directly to get a full understanding of what we were able do.
"We weren't ready to invite anyone back in without taking every necessary precaution and doing all we could to ensure social distancing, and to operate as contactless as possible."
Which means, of course, extra space. Breathing room. Each "exclusive semi-private all-inclusive show, complete with Nibbles and Sips" is for a total of 12 tables, spaced accordingly, with seating for between two and four people at each.
All information and reservations are here.
All three previous shows – including the performance by Kid Royal Blues Wednesday night – have done well, Kelly says. "They've all been successful and very needed on all fronts … for our business, for our original-music-loving audience and, of course, for the artists and staff."
Still, he adds, "We're still taking every necessary precaution. We're not ready to be at half capacity, which would be 50, just yet."
With live music MIA since mid-March, more venues will doubtless be coming back, in some version of limited capacity, as the weeks grind. Ruth Eckerd Hall, in fact, just announced a series of socially-distanced acoustic shows, in the lobby, by area rock legend Greg Billings (details here).
For John Kelly and the Hideaway Café, stepping into the great wide open is a one-foot-at-a-time situation. There's still a veil over the future. "To say I'm worried is an understatement," Kelly says. "I don't think things will be anything like they were before – not any time soon anyway – and we're happy to reinvent ourselves and see what opportunities we can turn over in this new norm. We're going to need to continue to adapt like so many small businesses are doing.
"Yes, music is what we do… while there is much uncertainty, we're hard at it and will continue to do our best to be a home for musicians and artists for years to come."

Law students collaborate on a process map during a LegalRnD workshop at Michigan State University College of Law.
Christy Burke recently wrote in Legal IT Today about the small group of law schools that have incorporated legal innovation and technology into their curriculum. In this guest post, Christy highlights law schools embracing opportunities to expand experiential learning opportunities, collaborate with practitioners, and incorporate experiential work into classes.
Law schools are now responsible for providing at least six credit hours of experiential learning for their students, according to the ABA Standards and Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools 2016-2017. The ABA defines an experiential course as "a simulation course, a law clinic, or a field placement." Law schools around the country have interpreted this requirement in diverse ways, injecting creativity into their curricula and attracting intrigued students and faculty in the best case scenarios.
Several schools have forged connections with other departments at their own institutions, other law schools, government agencies and courts, law firms, and corporations to go far beyond a "simulation" approach to experiential learning. By allowing law students to work on actual deals, participate in development of technology, and take courses in other areas such as business, engineering and entrepreneurism, these law schools are differentiating themselves from more resistant, steeped-in-tradition institutions.
Don Philbin, a top-ranked mediator in Texas as well as adjunct faculty member and double alumnus at Pepperdine Law School, saw an opportunity to include law students in creating Picture It Settled®, a highly intelligent predictive analytics software tool that guides inside and outside counsel through the negotiation process, based on deep data harvested from thousands of cases.
With such convincing success stories and differentiation benefits as those mentioned above, it's disappointing that more law schools are not creating hands-on experiential learning. Unfortunately, developing and getting approval/budget for experiential learning and innovative educational programs like teaching entrepreneurism, business management and technology can be extremely challenging in many law schools.
I recently published an article in Legal IT Today magazine focused on law schools that are "Winning the Battle to Teach Legal Technology and Innovation at Law Schools." This article—inspired by a conversation with Dan Linna at the LegalCIO Conference at Legalweek in NYC this past February 2017—focuses on faculty from a handful of law schools that have made great strides in teaching technology to law students. But, I found there is clearly much more work to be done in convincing the majority of law schools to expand their reach beyond traditional legal education.
Despite clear evidence of its advantage, some law schools are still resistant to offering rich "real-world" experiential opportunities to students, or perhaps it's not a high priority for them yet. However, such reluctance seems to do both institutions and their students a disservice. If law schools won't reinvent themselves to include hands-on opportunities for students, they are at risk of falling behind highly motivated institutions that are already offering these dynamic experiential opportunities.
